Mass Destruction [Song]

MASS DESTRUCTION
By Faithless

Whether long-range weapon or suicide bomber
WICKED MIND is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun or BBC 1
MISINFORMATION is a weapon of mass destruct
You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian
RACISM is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
FEAR is a weapon of mass destruction.

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed, told me some facts.
"Son, I have a duty calling on me
You and your sister be brave, my little soldier
And don't forget all I told you
You're the mister of the house now, remember this
And when you wake up in the morning, give your Mama a kiss."
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning, woke Mama with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Mama grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold.
I said, "Mama it will be alright
When Daddy comes home, tonight."

Whether long-range weapon or suicide bomber
WICKED MIND is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun or BBC 1
MISINFORMATION is a weapon of mass destruct
You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian
RACISM is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
FEAR is a weapon of mass destruction.
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
GREED is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
INACTION is a weapon of mass destruction
INACTION is a weapon of mass destruction
INACTION is a weapon of mass destruction.

My story stops here, let's be clear,
This scenario is happening everywhere.
And you ain't going to Nirvana or far-vana,
You're coming right back here to live out your karma.
With even more drama than previously, seriously.
Just how many centuries have we been
Waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and egos unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight.
There's only now, do it right.
'Cause I don't want your daddy leaving home tonight.

Whether long-range weapon or suicide bomber
WICKED MIND is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun or BBC 1
MISINFORMATION is a weapon of mass destruct
You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian
RACISM is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
FEAR is a weapon of mass destruction.
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
GREED is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
INACTION is a weapon of mass destruction
INACTION is a weapon of mass destruction
INACTION is a weapon of mass destruction.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Faithless.

And on the matter of racism being a weapon of mass destruction, some interesting votes were cast at the UN last month. Links to the voting records are provided so you can overlay the configuration it discloses upon your map of the world. 



November 23, 2015 - These are the countries which voted at the UN AGAINST the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination: Canada, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, United States of America.

Read more about the voting at Rabble.ca. Scroll down their page to read an excerpt from the Report of the Third Committee of the United Nations on its meeting of Nov 19, 2015  which contains some of the arguments for and against the resolution on Nazism.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
